Anime eye makeup transformation processfrom @ppprincesss

[01]

Overview

The creators show an anime eye drawing as inspiration, then document the step-by-step process of applying intricate makeup to create oversized, cartoonish eyes on their faces. They use white paint for the base, add color for the irises, outline with black liner, and apply dramatic false eyelashes. The video concludes with a montage of them wearing the finished makeup in various everyday situations like riding in a car, eating at a restaurant, and being out at night.
